Jackson Olson is looking to score a home run in the ballroom.
The Savannah Bananas baseball player — and boyfriend of Pat Sajak’s daughter Maggie Sajak— has joined Season 35 of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Olson’s upcoming gig was announced at Disney’s Upfront presentation on Tuesday.
During Wednesday’s episode of “Good Morning America,” the fan-favorite player revealed he manifested his spot on the competition series.
“I kind of manifested this whole thing,” he explained. “I posted a couple of TikToks last year, just joking and pranking my coach that I was going to be on this show, never thinking that it was a possibility. But when I posted it, I was like, ‘Maybe there is a possibility.’”
Olson added that he “saw some comments” that made him rethink whether joining “DWTS” was plausible.
The athlete’s girlfriend, Maggie, took to her Instagram Stories after the news was announced with a series of supportive messages.
The TV personality re-posted the official announcement, writing, “SO PROUD.”
A second shot showed the pair from behind watching fireworks, with the caption, “Beyond proud of you.”
Maggie warned that “the dance floor better get ready.”
The exciting news comes only a month after the couple announced their romance.
“Applications closed✅,” Olson captioned their joint Instagram post at the time, referencing his relationship status.
Meanwhile, come fall, Olson is set to join “Summer House “star Ciara Miller and “Traitors” runner-up Maura Higgins in the ballroom.
The full cast will be revealed on “Good Morning America” on Sept. 2.
Olson, however, has plenty of dance experience on the baseball field.
The Savannah Bananas — which was founded in 2016 by husband and wife Jesse and Emily Cole — mixes baseball with choreographed dances, sing-alongs and players on stilts.
Olson joined the Georgia-based team in 2022, after previously turning down an offer from the Arizona Diamondbacks a few years prior.
After the MLB’s draft was shortened during the COVID-19 pandemic, the baseball player transferred from the University of Hartford to Stetson University.
Olson quickly gained an online following by showing off his dance moves and baseball skills on TikTok.
Olson’s videos earned him a spot on the Savannah Bananas and he has since amassed over 2 million followers on the social media platform.
“I thought I was done with baseball after my career at Stetson University,” the influencer told People in 2023. “Mentally, I kind of fell out of love with the game. And the Bananas brought that back.”
